So much class protection is laundered through platitudes like “free speech”. When liberal zionists like Bari Weiss opine about restrictions on speech, all that means is she wants to continue to spout pro-imperialist rhetoric in her New York op-eds without any meaningful pushback

You literally have to sign a pledge to not boycott Israel when you sign up to be a public school teacher in Texas.https://www.newsweek.com/teacher-fired-refusing-sign-pro-israel-document-1262083 …

I think the left is increasingly skeptical of appeals to an empty fetishization of supposedly value-neutral means that have been progressively exposed as, heavily value-laden (de facto if not de jure)
-
This. The left has gotten very good at sniffing out bad faith, disingenuous Trojan horse arguments. When someone proclaims "Free speech" as a value there are normally about a thousand asterisks after it... and those asterisks are the important part.

Not really, It's what happens when the Right has a complete monopoly on language. Thus allowing to be able to frame and control the resulting discourse. This isn't 'freedom of speech'. This is about abusing others with impunity. Just like they believe they have a right to do.

The ‘left’ should mean workers who don’t have ‘free speech’ in the workplace. It’s only people without real jobs who seem to not understand that ‘free speech’ doesn’t exist inside production. I haven’t seen a take that addresses capitalism as underlying factor in all of this.

There’s an entire ecosystem of pundits who’ve spent the last six years doing nothing but nutpicking and trolling blue-haired college students and then whining about free speech. The term “free speech” is becoming inseparable in left-wing consciousness from this nonsense...

I think the difference is that society has shifted from the old school “Stop censoring inconvenient truths” free speech battle to the current “There are no guardians and hate/conspiracy theories run rampant uncontrolled” free speech battle.

Yep!! Many of these signatories didn’t raise peep as pro-Palestinian authors/academics had their anti-Israeli arguments were branded as anti-Semitic and used as a way to destroy their careers.
-
That’s explicitly the point of the purposeful conflation of anti-Zionism with anti-semitism. I don’t support Israel as it exists today because I’m Jewish, not because I’m prejudiced against my co-religionists.
